About the
Author: Harvey Frommer is the author of 33 sports books,
including "The New York Yankee Encyclopedia, "Shoeless Joe
and Ragtime Baseball," "Growing Up Baseball" with Frederic
J. Frommer and "Rickey and Robinson: The Men Who Broke
Baseball's Color Line." His "A Yankee Century: A Celebration
of the First Hundred Years of Baseball's Greatest Team" will
be published in paperback Sept. 2003.It
was Sunday at Yankee Stadium. The New York Yankees matched
up against the Washington Senators, the two wildest pitching
staffs in the major leagues. The New Yorkers had surrendered
5.27 free passes per nine innings; Washington, 4.99.

Game one of
the doubleheader played that eleventh day of September saw
the Senator pitchers out-do themselves in bestowing walks.
The Yankees were given 17 free passes, including 11 in the
third inning, a record surpassing the previous high of
8.

The frenetic
fifty-minute, bottom of the third inning saw 18 Yankees bat.
Four Yankees were walked twice in the inning - another major
league record. (The parenthetical number indicates walks
yielded by Senator pitchers).

(1) Phil
Rizzuto walked. (2) Cliff Mapes walked. A Bobby Brown double
scored Rizzuto and Mapes. Eddie Yost threw a Joe DiMaggio
ground ball off the Yankee Clipper's shoulder into right
field. Brown scored. Yogi Berra doubled to center. DiMaggio
scored. Washington pitcher Paul Calvert was removed from the
game. (3) Charlie Keller was walked by relief pitcher Dick
Welterroth.
...Bud Stewart
and ...Sam Dente ran into each other. ...Stewart was carried
off on a stretcher.
The bases were loaded when (4) Joe Collins walked. Yogi
Berra scored when (5) Jerry Coleman walked. An Allie
Reynolds' single drove in two more runs. Washington left
fielder Bud Stewart and shortstop Sam Dente ran into each
other. Both had to leave the game. Stewart was carried off
on a stretcher. Jerry Coleman was trapped off second and
tagged out in a rundown. Reynolds moved to second. A Rizzuto
single to left sent Reynolds to third. For the second time
in the inning, (6) Mapes walked. The bases were loaded.
Welteroth was removed from the game. Julio Gonzalez replaced
him.

It was wild
all right - and many more records for wildness (read: bases
on balls) could have been broken if not for the presence of
Washington's Buzz Dozier, a hurler who plied his trade
wearing sun glasses. He pitched the final five innings and
walked only four Yankees.
